Rollin' The Ice

1/18/2014

 
The 2014 ice season is well under way now and I've been slow to get a report and pictures up.  Better late than never, eh! 

It's been a cold and snowy winter here in NW Ontario so far.  Conditions on the lake are great though, with a solid base of ice and plenty of snow on top for the snow machines.  The slush is minimal, too, which is a major bonus.  

Fishing has been pretty good so far with a steady pick of walleye and pike.  Haven't had the chance to chase lakers and whitefish yet, but that should change soon.

Every year I catch big active walleye on Lindy Darters.  This Lac Seul 'eye is a perfect example.
Last winter I did an article for Ontario OUT OF DOORS about catching big pike with gear and tactics normally used for walleye fishing.  It never fails that some of the years biggest pike come while jigging for winter walleye in 30-feet of water.  This big girl was a treat to pull through the hole the other day.  
Picture
My buddy Joe traveled up from southern Ontario for a visit earlier in January.  Of course we went fishing…. here's Joe with a nice walleye.

Back in December I had the chance to fish with longtime guide buddy Brandon Ouelette on the legendary Bay of Quinte in SE Ontario.  Brandon operates Quinte Hard Water Specialists guide service, based in Belleville Ontario.  Quinte is well regarded as the premiere destination for monster walleye.  Every time you drop your jig down you've got a realistic shot at a 10 + pounder.   These guys don't even bat an eyelash at 5-pounders.  

True to form, Quinte produced a monster for Brandon's good buddy Justin.  This is - by far - the biggest walleye I've ever laid eyes on.  Anywhere.  Ever.

14- pounds, 4-oz and 32-inches
If you're anywhere near southern Ontario this winter give Brandon a call and book a trip to chase one of these giants for yourself.
